Issues for which this is an indicator and why
Coasts and Oceans — Contributions and pressures between the coasts and oceans and the atmosphere - Airborne substances
Smoke, dust and other airborne pollutants can be carried by wind to the ocean from the land or from shipping. These substances can have localised impacts on marine organisms. No indicator has been developed for measuring or assessing the extent of this pressure or its actual impact on marine organisms.
Land — Contributions and pressures between the land and the atmosphere - Airborne substances
Land use change can place pressure on the atmosphere as dust from bare ground or smoke from burning, and the atmosphere can in turn place pressure on the land as these substances are deposited a long way from their place of origin.
Other indicators for this issue:
- LD-04 Area and change in area of exposed soil surface contributing to erosion
- LD-26 Dust storm index
Human Settlements — Liveability of human settlements - Air quality
Dust from bare ground or smoke from burning can impact on human settlements when they are carries by the wind a considerable distance from their place of origin.
Other indicators for this issue:
- A-17 Concentrations of carbon monoxide in urban areas
- A-18 Concentrations of ozone in urban areas
- A-19 Concentration of lead in urban areas
